California Gets Assertive In Solar Panel Installation Energy Savings 

I heard something recently through the grapevine.  But, we will get back to that soon.  Do you know who else heard it through the very same vine?  The Californian Raisins.  It's soulful members singer  A.C., Beebop (drums), Stretch (bass), and Red (guitar/piano), might have been one of the most influential musical pioneers in the history of California.  Now, we all understand that the raisins rose to their state of character and professionalism through the warm and shining sun of the Golden State.  Another thing that gains power from the fantastic sun rays of California's sky is solar panels.  California is a leader in the country for solar power energy production.  I have heard it through the grapevine that there are some great deals to be had by purchasing solar panels today in this incredible state.     

2019 Building Energy Code For Solar Installations

A great start toward massive solar panel price saving is coming with the introduction of the 2019 Building Energy Code.  This code states that solar power will be installed on all newly built homes in the state.  The upfront cost could be a big hit for new home builder initially, but they will find a breakeven point in most cases within ten years.  Thi is an assertive approach to wide-spread solar panel installation, but Californian home buyers could potentially experience a per unit prices drop to rates approaching that of some of the world’s largest utility-scale solar communities. 

Soft Costs 

What are soft-cost?  Put, soft costs are construction industry terminology for an expense item that is not considered indirect construction costs.   Soft costs add up to a significant distinction between California and many other states. In the world of rooftop solar panel installations and pricing, some of these soft costs include permitting, financing, installation labor, cost of customer purchase, and paying suppliers, one wonders if there is enough money to keep everyone afloat.  Hopefully, some value is left over for the business if they want to stay in business. 

Also important, soft costs aren’t diminishing in comparison to actual solar panel equipment costs by comparison. So, this movement made by California is likely to lower soft costs, as it is assumed to put descending pressure on almost all of these soft cost classifications.  New home builders can absorb these soft costs through the 2019 Building Energy Code.  So, for new home builders, the future is looking bright for solar panel pricing and savings in the long-run.
